It's beginning to look a bit like Back to School! We may be going virtual for band and orchestra lessons, but we're going to have an amazing journey learning together and making music! I can't wait to welcome new #orchestraminions!! :)

My 2 year old niece got her first violin this week (a toy one). She loves Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, so I made her a special video. I miss making music with the #orchestraminions ❤️ @LakeshoreNSCSD @SmithRoadEl @NSyracuseCSD

I'm thinking of all of our #orchestraminions! I miss you all ❤️

Seeing so many @SmithRoadEl #orchestraminions today during the teacher parade warmed my heart!! Thank you for the smiles, the waves, and all of the amazing artwork and signs we saw!! SRE sharks ROCK! ❤️@NSyracuseCSD

Hello all of our #orchestraminions at @SmithRoadEl @LakeshoreNSCSD and Cicero! I'm missing all of you, and I'm excited for our virtual lessons! Keep up the awesome work and practice! I'm so proud of you ❤️ @NSyracuseCSD

Hide your gold because it looks like one of our @LakeshoreNSCSD #orchestraminions may be looking for some at the end of the rainbow! I love her St. Patrick's Day spirit, and orchestra silliness! @NSyracuseCSD

This post from The Loft Violin Shop was shared with me today. Someone tried to clean with Lysol, which damages the finish. Please stick to a clean, dry cloth, & washing hands before & after playing :) Take care of you & your instrument :) #orchestraminions

The gang is all here! I rounded up all my mugs from the schools and they are here and ready for our morning coffee talk videos!!! :) I know the #orchestraminions love when I have coffee 😁😁😁😁

Wizard of Oz is one of my FAVORITE movies. I found some movie books, and played some music for a virtual tea party at @LakeshoreNSCSD . I just wanted so share a bit of my heart. @NSyracuseCSD drive.google.com/open?id=1PS…

The @LakeshoreNSCSD #orchestraminions are in the star challenge house again!!! I love all of her silliness!!! :) So glad to see youuuuu!!! :) @NSyracuseCSD

Wooooo!!! Another one of our Cicero #orchestraminions is having some fun with her violin photo and star challenge!! Today we meet some fish!!! :) @NSyracuseCSD

I recorded this morning's video which is posted on the website :) I've been playing my violin a lot, #orchestraminions! It's helping me express my emotions and feelings 🎻❤️ I hope music is helping you too.

The #orchestraminions at Cicero are having some fun!!! Her violin thought they were just going outside to enjoy some of this rare and gorgeous sunshine 😂 Keep the photos coming!!! :) @NSyracuseCSD

One of our @LakeshoreNSCSD #orchestraminions has already started her star challenge - take a silly photo with your instrument!! Sharing music, whether with animals or people, is so important! Great job!!! :) @NSyracuseCSD #nscsdorchestrastarchallenge

Our #orchestraminions - the website is updated with all sorts of fun things, AND the long-awaited pink and black star challenge!!! :) Head over and check it out!!! :)

The #orchestraminions at @SmithRoadEl were super spontaneous today! I randomly put this on and they had a blast! They ain't afraid of no ghosts! 😂 @NSyracuseCSD

We can't help falling in love with 4th grade orchestra at @LakeshoreNSCSD @NSyracuseCSD :) These #orchestraminions rocked it! Check out their sound and bow lifts!!

Congrats @TButlerFigueroa on all of your success! The #orchestraminions in @NSyracuseCSD are rooting for you!! :) You've inspired many of them to play the violin this year :)

MandalORCHian and baby Yoda are proud of the progress the students have made this week at @LakeshoreNSCSD, Cicero, and @SmithRoadEl! Way to go #orchestraminions!! You're setting and reaching goals, and moving full steam ahead!!! :) @NSyracuseCSD
